黑客馬拉松讓你在壓力下快速學習並解決問題。

Hackathons Help You Build Real-World Skills

你將建立實際技能

You'll work on real-world projects using standard industry tools.
你將使用標準的行業工具進行真實世界的項目工作。

Hackathons Help You Collaborate with Ambitious People

與優秀的人合作

Hackathons connect you with talented people from a broad range of backgrounds.

黑客馬拉松將你與來自各種背景的有才華的人聯繫起來。

Hackathons Help You Form Lasting Relationships

Hackathon Projects Can Become So Much More

具有潛力的項目

Some projects may even extend beyond the weekend, and evolve into impactful companies.
有些項目甚至可能超越這個周末，並發展成具有影響力的公司。

Why AI is Transforming Education

為什麼人工智能正在改變教育

One word. Personalization.
一個詞。個性化。

Why Personalization Matters

為什麼個性化很重要

AI can adapt learning to fit:
人工智能可以使學習適應：

your learning style
你的學習風格
your pace of learning
你的學習進度
your curious tangents
你的好奇心

Self-Teaching with AI

使用人工智能自學

AI gives you so many options for controlling your own learning journey.
人工智能為你提供了如此多的選擇，讓你控制自己的學習旅程。

Most learning is not done in a classroom

大多數學習並不是在教室裡進行的

Most people stop school before they turn 25, but live until they're 85. That's 60 years where they need to teach themselves.
大多數人在25歲之前就停止上學，但活到85歲。那是60年需要自學的時間。

How freeCodeCamp used AI in the past

過去如何使用人工智能

We use AI to automate boring things:
我們使用人工智能來自動化無聊的事情：

transcripts
轉錄
subtitles
字幕
translations
翻譯
course summaries
課程摘要

How freeCodeCamp NOW uses AI

現在如何使用人工智能

We now use it to do more:
我們現在用它做更多的事：

agentic code generation
代理式代碼生成
analytics
分析
research into learner preferences
研究學習者偏好

How freeCodeCamp will use AI in the near future

未來將如何使用人工智能

Learner-facing AI:
面向學習者的人工智能：

Adaptive difficulty
自適應難度
Spaced Repetition and Mastery Learning
間隔重複與精通學習
Socratic debugging help
蘇格拉底式的調試幫助
Interventions and Motivational Boosts
介入與激勵提升

This is just the tip of the iceberg

這只是冰山一角。

There are so many ways AI can help further improve self-teaching.
人工智能還有許多方法可以進一步改善自學。

But AI is a double edged sword

人工智能是把雙刃劍

With AI people can learn faster than before.
有了人工智能，人們的學習速度比以往更快。

But it can also be a crutch that makes them dumb and lazy.
但它也可能成為一個拐杖，讓人變得愚蠢和懶惰。

You are probably 5 years ahead of your time

你可能比你的時代提前了5年

How you use AI today could be average people may use it 5 years from now.
你今天使用人工智能的方式，可能是5年後一般人將使用的方式。

But this won't happen on its own.
但這不會自動發生。

You're accelerating away from average people

你正在加速遠離普通人

We have to teach people how to use these tools, and how to learn faster.
我們必須教人們如何使用這些工具，以及如何更快地學習。

The challenges ahead

面臨的挑戰

I think getting people onto the AI bullet train requires:
我認為讓人們搭上人工智能快車需要：

Communicating the reasons and
傳達原因
Making the learning tools accessible
使學習工具更加可及

Closing Thought 結語

Pascale Fung, AI Researcher and Professor of ECE at HKUST

冯志伟，香港科技大学电子与计算机工程系教授、人工智能研究员

"The dearth of human reasoning with regard to matters both human and artificial makes me think that we urgently need better training for humans - or machines will surely surpass so many among us in terms of reasoning and even compassion."

"在人類與人工智能事務的推理匱乏使我認為，我們迫切需要更好的訓練人類——否則，機器將在推理甚至同情心方面超越我們中的許多人。"

I'm excited to see what you'll build.
